Swift, whose album will lead the final pre-Christmas Billboard 200, sits atop the website’s “Top 20 Celebs Gone Good” of 2012.

“TSwift is our number one celeb gone good,” writes DoSomething. “She’s had quite a year being the YOUNGEST person to ever receive the Ripple of Hope Award from the Robert F. Kennedy Center for her charity work. The 23-year-old also donated 4 million (the largest sum yet!) to the Country Hall of Fame Museum. Not to mention, her tremendous work for young people battling cancer among many others.”
